I kinda like that idea.
When did they do that?
They could have a TV timeout every 5 mins instead of every 4 mins.

Super terrible idea. You want to keep the suckers at the table, and the only way to do that is to give them a "shot" at winning money.

You either need to learn to tilt less, or really look at the situations to see if your opponents didn't have favorable odds to try to draw out on you considering the size of the pot in relation to the size of their remaining stack.

fulltilt does allow this on cash tables with the run it twice option.

Its 50/50 and not 60/40 though

my guess is that you have won and lost your all ins exactly the correct % of the time that you should.....and you feel you have the best of it so it should be a plus ROI the way it is..

might feel that way but if you charted it all accurately long term it is most likely coming out nearly what it should..

You can run it twice, or even more f u want. u can buy "insurance", Hellmuth is famous for selling his hands. Watch HSP poker, he sells his hand all the time. But mostly u have to quit getting all-in. if your a 65% fav then u will win 6.5 and lose 3.5 +or- variance, with the unequal pot sizes ths may only be a breakeven situation at best... But what if you know that your opponent will fold to ur shove 3.5 times out of 10? Now u cant lose. u win 6.5 times when ur hand holds up and 3.5 when he folds. So when u get all-in u need fold equity in order to be profitable unless ur opponent is drawing dead.
Other than that give your opponent bad odds to draw out but when u shove KNOWING he will call u may actually shift the advantage to him as he now gets "implied" odds to draw out on u as well as his 35% = or - variance.
If your shove has no chance of making him fold (depending on stack sizes ofcourse) then it almost cant be very profitable long term.

also consider if 90% of the time you have a 51-49% advantage you should end up about 51% or a bit better not 90%!!!

Bingo.
This is the part people fail to realize.
They think they get it in good 90% of the time, so they should win 90% of the hands.
Its just not the case.

i totally understand the coin flips.. when i say i get it in good 90 % of the time , the majority of those times i was 65/35 and higher . its the 4 to 6 outers with no other draws to worry about that haunt me.

i just have horrible luck at poker..
